B Ocean Resort
B Ocean Resort is a beachfront hotel in Fort Lauderdale situated directly on the wide sandy shore with modern comfort and ocean views. The building features a ship-like design with a central tower, guest rooms with large windows, and several restaurants and bars including the legendary Wreck Bar with its shipwreck theme.
The resort was built in 1956 by Bob Gill Jr. and was originally known as the Yankee Clipper, where legendary mermaid shows took place at the Wreck Bar in the 1950s. After changing ownership in 2014, the hotel underwent extensive renovation and by 2017 received its current appearance blending historic character with modern style.
The resort carries forward its heritage as the historic Yankee Clipper, where famous guests once stayed and mermaid shows became legendary. Visitors today experience this place as a casual gathering spot where families, couples, and travelers come together to enjoy the beach lifestyle.
The hotel sits directly on the beach with easy access to sand and water for all-day relaxation. Parking is available on site but paid, and the property offers free Wi-Fi in rooms and common areas plus a fitness center for guests who wish to stay active.
The Wreck Bar is a historic spot featuring large portholes that frame views into an adjoining pool where live mermaid shows with underwater performances take place regularly. This unusual feature dates back to the 1950s and continues to draw visitors seeking theater and spectacle.
